Hi,

I got some question.
To change the rain effect via script for the whole world I can use region.rain or sector.rain=1 or ingame .rain???

another question, how long will it be rain? how can I set it that it will rain the whole day?
never used this one.

thanks for answer and help

i guess u should look at this: https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=706af5b00...452F%21175 aim to the environmental control.
That has been scripted from mordaunt and do pretty much like u said. I think can be improved a lot, but its still a good script and a very nice base.

nice script like mine
he use the command like I tried to use (I am an work so I can´t check it).
But the question is still
how long will it be rain?
all the time since someone use another command/script like sector.rain to turn it off?

I must warn you that script is old, flawed and did have bugs reported in it that I was unable to replicate.
I should also have handled some things in a different way.

If you are running the latest nightly a lot of the hardcoded weather is now fixed access has also been given to sector control

with this you can control sector.rain or sector.dry for any sector(s) on the map, a simple timer would allow you to set the time rain should fall.

I tried
SERV.MAP.0.SECTOR.1 rain

21:53:ERROR:(sphere_gm_commands.scp,6849)Bad usage of MAPx. Check your sphere.ini or scripts (SERV.MAP is a read only property)
21:53:ERROR:(sphere_gm_commands.scp,6849)Undefined keyword 'MAP.0.SECTOR.1'

21:53:ERROR:(sphere_gm_commands.scp,6849)Undefined keyword 'MAP.0.SECTOR.1'

when I am jumping over the map and check the sector via .Show sector
I got everywhere 1
Also when I try .Show Region
same Resultate ...1

You have to update to a version of the server on which the functionality was added. (after 20-02-2013)
That is when it was changed to read/write.

if you want to control the rain yourself (start + stop timer) you must set the rain chance to 100% and stop it manually

just add "RAINCHANCE=100" on the region. I cant remember if it can be used on scripts too ("REGION.RAINCHANCE 100", etc). To add snow you must use RAINCHANCE and COLDCHANCE too


I dont know if you will get a real permanent weather because the client will stop the weather effect itself after 6min (or 10min on newest clients) and sphere will "renew" the weather effect after some time. If this internal time match exactly your client timer you will get a permanent effect, if not, you will get a effect like "rain - dry - rain - dry"

If I recall correctly you can't really get permanent rain short of having an event that keeps firing the command, eventually it will always dry out

As for that error from random rares... just go change the loot settings, they are only really there are an example anyway, you may find the newer script pack has renamed templates, I haven't checked it lately.
